are you talking about an actual piano performance? and if so i assume you also play piano?
thanks, I got one question answered just from skimming the first chapter so I think I'm okay.Thankfully not! I take lessons, but the teacher is kinda strict so I felt bad when I kept messing up. And yeah, I've been playing the piano for 5+ years. I suppose for only a night and early morning it could've been worse, but I'm still embarrassed of how bad I did.
Good luck with your book!
omg, I can barely play the first part of Ravel's Sonantine and I've been playing piano for about 5 years now >.> (Probably doesn't help that I don't practice as much due to how hectic my life is). I used to be able to play the first half of Clair de Lune but ever since my stressful junior year in high school, I forgot it all.thanks, I got one question answered just from skimming the first chapter so I think I'm okay.
also that's really cool! I've been playing piano for... 15 years? I started when I was 6 and I'm 21 now. I know how it feels to have a strict teacher, I started taking lessons with my current piano professor when I was a sophomore in HS and it was quite different from my old teacher's more laid back personality. ofc I've made up for that now by working really hard to learn as many notes throughout the week as I can. This semester I've actually learned an entire first movement of Ravel's Sonatina in about a week and a half, prob couldn't taken less time if I didn't have like 4 other classes to focus on lol.
it's good not to dwell on bad experiences with piano teachers/professors. I've had plenty of them. if piano is something you're really passionate about and want to continue with ya just gotta say "okay what did I do wrong this week and how can I make it better?" I started out with my professor sometimes being disappointed in my progress and now (only 7 years later lmaooo) he praises me a lot
me trying to learn Sonatine after only 5 years would mean I would've had to learn it when I was 11 lol. (granted I'm sure some can do it but my first piano teacher was not a professional so my learning is a bit more delayed than most serious pianists.) that's a huge undertaking.
there are PLENTY of other people around here who would absolutely love to share in your excitement but I'm not one of them and I thought that was always quite obvious.
